REVERSIBLE CHAIR.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 14., 1920.

Application filed September 12, 1919. Serial No. 323,256.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK S. PASCOE, acitizen of the United States,-and a resident of Cristobal, Canal Zone,Isthmus of Panama, have invented a new and Improved Reversible Chair, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in chairs, and more particularlyto a chair designed for use by a small child, an object of the inventionbeing to provide a device of the character stated which is reversible,sothat when it is in one position it functions as a small rocking chair,and when in the inverted position functions as an auxiliary seat for anordinary dining chair to provide in effect, a high chair.

A further object is to provide a device of the character stated whichwhen in use on a chair and in position against a table, is securelyheld, and possibility of accident reduced to a minimum.

A further object is to provide a combina tion rocking chair andauxiliary chair seat, which can be manufactured and sold at a reasonablylow price, and which will most efficiently perform the functions forwhich it is intended.

With these-and other objects in view, the

invention consists in certain novel features of construction andcombinations and arrangements of parts as will be more fully hereinafterdescribed and pointed out in the claim.

g In the accompanying drawings:

1 Figure 1; is a perspective view showing the device in position on achair to form'a hi h chair.

ig. 2 is a perspective view illustrating my inproved device in positionfor use as a rocking chair.

Fig. 3 is a view in vertical longitudinalipction, theview being on theline 2-2 of 1 1,represent the side members of my improved chair, havinga curved lower edge 2 and extensions 3 at its edges forming rockers 4.

The sides are connected by a seat 5 and by two inclined backs 6 and 7projecting respectively above and below the seat 5.

Relatively flat arms 8 are'secured to the upper edges of the sides, andstrips 9 and 10 are secured to the front and rear edges respectively, ofthe sides 1, and project beyond the outer face of the sides 1, 1, for apurpose which will hereinafter appear.

The chair is constructed preferably of wood and is preferably made plainto prevent the formation of crevices to catch particles of food, but itis obvious that it might be variously ornamented and might be of variousmaterials other than woo I 11 represents an ordinary dinin chair, and asshown in Fig. 3, when the evice is to be used as a chair seat to form ahigh chair, it is inverted and rests on the arms 8.

The device is thus held against movement in any direction andis racticalnil.

hile I have illustrated and described what I believe to be a preferredembodiment of my invention it is apparent that various slight changesmight be made in the general form of the parts described withoutdeparting from my invention, and hence I do not limit myself to theprecisev details set forth but consider myself at liberty to make suchslight changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit andscope of the appended claim.

I claim r A reversible chair, comprising sides, a

seat connecting the sides, a pair of backs possibility of accidentsecured to the sides and projecting above and below the seat, fiat armson the upper ends of the sides, extensions on the edges of the sides attheir lower end, and strips secured to the front and rear edges of thesides and projectin be ond the sides.

I RA K srAsoon.
